sorry, I have a chevy v-8 in mine... I use a boxwrench, and a tool I got from Autozone... it is a spark plug socket with a swivel and a t-handle attached to it

The spark plug socket has a hex end on it... put the socket on the plug, and use a box wrench to turn it off... it's not that difficult.

There is so little room i could bearly get the socket on, just about forced it . and i couldnt get a box end wrench onto the socket, theres just no room with that heat shield on the manifold. But even if i could ,when i start to losen the plug it would be stuck against the steering shaft with 2 or 3 turns ??? Thats how close it is..
